by Cindy McLennan, June 19, 2018

Right on schedule — and just before the official beginning of summer — NBC has announced the premiere dates for its new and returning TV shows, debuting in the Fall of 2018. The Peacock Network‘s new 2018-19 television season will kick off with season 15 of The Voice, followed by the series premiere of Manifest.

For now at least, in addition to Manifest — a mystery drama starring Once Upon a Time vet Josh Dallas — the only other new series premieres announced is for medical drama New Amsterdam, starring Blacklist alum, Ryan Egghold, and sitcom I Feel Bad, from executive producer Amy Poehler and writer Aseem Batra.

Meanwhile, aside from The Voice, returning NBC TV series premiering this fall include: This Is Us season three; Chicago Med season four; Chicago Fire season seven; Chicago PD season six; The Good Place season three; Law & Order: SVU season 20; Dateline NBC season 27; Superstore season four; Will & Grace season 10 (2nd season of revival); Blindspot season four; and Midnight, Texas season two.

Check out the NBC press release, for the season and series premiere dates and times.

The following Thursday, Oct. 4, will see the return of comedy favorites “Superstore” at 8 p.m. and “Will & Grace” at 9 p.m., with “I Feel Bad” launching at 9:30 p.m.

Glad you’ve kept Law and Order, Chicago PD and Blindspot! My favs!!! Although not crazy that you moved Law and Order to Thursday. Use to like the voice but too many coach changes and airs to long. Didn’t care for the multiple nights of shows. Most of the new shows coming out are not worth my time to watch. Many have no decent substance and contribute nothing of value. And really how many medical shows does one really need?

Wish “The Brave” would have been renewed. I really like Blindspot and Midnight, Texas. I’m going to give Manifest a look; it looks like something I should like.

NBC …..What is going on???? I’m sure everyone is back from Spring break. Renew Timeless already! I don’t want to watch Manifest, The Voice, or any other new show your testing. Have you ever considered people who have a brain and can comprehend, want to be entertained by intelligent storylines! Im sick of great shows being cancelled and replaced with complete garbage. Nbc choose Substance! Save Rufus! Save Timeless!

Would rather see “The Brave” back on Monday night at 10:00 instead of some other new show called Manifest which I will not watch. Wish some other network would pick it up.

Ummm. Can we talk about the elephant in the room??What about TIMELESS? It is such a good show and it is being ignored. Us fans just won’t go away quietly and we won’t forget about the show’s pending status. It teaches history and events and facts about people I didn’t even know about. PLEASE reconsider and find a time slot for this show. You would get a better fan base if it was on earlier.
